Becoming a Kim Warrior -2-
Okay, let’s calm down.
I decided not to think about how I came to this world or why I became a warrior.
It’s a question without an answer.
Whether it’s a supernatural being like a god or a demon, or whether aliens have kidnapped me and are experimenting on me by putting me in some weird machine, that’s not what’s important right now.
Survival is more important than anything else right now.
That I have to survive.
If you do something wrong, you could die within a few months or have your organs removed.
‘I don’t have money.’
I raised an eyebrow as I looked at my smartphone.
[Legion Bank]
[Balance 136,711 won]
Additionally, there are four King Sejongs in the wallet.
My entire fortune is 170 thousand won!
How do you live with this?
What about the monthly rent for the card bill that comes up next month?
[I didn’t answer the phone so I was connected to the voicemail······]
“Tsk. You have a miserable life too.”
When I call a contact saved on my smartphone, no one answers.
Class president, vice president, Mr. Choi, etc.
I guess they’re ignoring you because they think you’re calling from the hospital.
People I don’t know anyway.
There was no way to know what kind of life Kim Jeon-sa lived or what kind of relationships he had.
The game settings weren’t that detailed and there was no information on the smartphone either.
I sat against the wall and closed my eyes.
‘Let’s make money first.’
Arcane Seoul is a so-called pay-to-win shit game.
How to survive there without paying?
As expected, money was needed.
In-game currency instead of cash. Things like won (￦), diamonds, and nectar.
In particular, the Angbal Kim warrior was quite impressive.
If you fill all four members of your party with Angbal Kim Jeon Sa and run the madness, you’ll get money that you can throw away incompetent paying users.
‘The Jirisan cave probably hasn’t opened yet?’
I don’t know.
Jirisan Magul opens after Episode 7, but this is not a game, it is another reality or another world.
In the game, there may already be lairs, forbidden areas, and labyrinths that have been patched sequentially.
“Status window.”
Disappointingly, there was no response.
“Status. Stat. Ability. Character window. Character. Warrior Kim. C. Hey, damn it.”
Eating it raw was a failure.
If you were to send them to another world, shouldn’t they have been given things like cheat abilities or a status screen?
Surely, all the knowledge I have isn’t useless?
I force myself to calm down and think of my friend, Kim Jeon-sa.
A few years ago, not recently, when I first started playing the game, I used Kim Jeon Sa.
‘It won’t be efficient at all······’
First, let’s start from the most basic place.
Anyway, you can only enter Jirisan Magul or Baekdusan Magul after reaching a high level.
In times like these when there’s nothing to do, a landfill is the best.
But, before that, there is one thing you need to check first.
I picked up the ballpoint pen that was rolling around on the desk.
Close your eyes tightly and press down on the back of your hand.
“Ouch!”
It hurt so much that tears welled up in my eyes.
But he didn’t stop. He still kept his eyes tightly shut and stamped the back of his hand again and again.
Thump!
Then suddenly, my heart started beating loudly.
My whole body feels hot.
It feels like lava is spreading through my bloodstream throughout my body.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the wound on the back of my left hand slowly healing.
“okay.”
The gamble worked.
If this were a game, this message would appear.
[Kim Jeon-sa (Lv 0) has acquired the [Wound Recovery] trait.]
It’s a common trait for all 3-tier characters, neither regeneration nor immortality, but where is this?
I felt completely relieved.
“Hoooo.”
Let’s do one more.
Close your eyes and concentrate.

In a game, this is an action that can be completed with a few touches, but in reality, where there is no status window, shouldn’t we do something like this?
‘Eliminate it. Eliminate it. Eliminate it.’
I thought to myself several times.
It removes the wound healing property.
I wished I had lost the ability to heal wounds, because I was afraid it might not work.
Then he struck the back of my hand again.
“Ah!”
Should I have experimented with different characteristics instead?
But few traits are as readily available and responsive as wound healing.
I screamed and looked at the back of my hand, and fortunately the wound was still there.
The original wounds have all healed.
Success this time too.
“Phew.”
I breathed a sigh of relief.
The attribute has been successfully deleted.
Don’t you think it’s a waste?
In fact, this is the greatest characteristic and strength of the natural N-class tutorial character, Kim Jeon-sa.
Blank body.
As it is a character given by default, it has no starting characteristics.
Other Kim series, such as Kim Cheol-kwon, Kim Magic, and Kim Sa-je, each start with one trait.
Instead, acquiring, changing, and deleting traits is freer and easier than with any other character.
While other characters require diamonds to change or delete their characteristics, Kim Jeon-sa requires zero costs.
The conditions for acquiring characteristics have also been greatly relaxed.
That was one of the reasons why I chose to focus on Kim Jeon Sa even though I had already drawn several R-class and SR-class characters.
“thank god.”
The conditions for acquiring traits seem to work the same as in the game.
Well then, there’s no time to be like this.
I put on some clothes and ran out of the goshiwon.
A damp back alley unfolds.
A broken, blinking streetlight.
All the broken pavement blocks.
There are puddles of water everywhere.
A huge pile of trash.
A fly buzzing above it.
A rotten smell wafting from somewhere.
A drunkard who walks creaking like a wooden doll.
The drunkard laughed loudly······ His steel jaw and gear teeth clanked together, making a rough friction sound.
A grotesque sight, like something straight out of a nightmare.
I took a deep breath reflexively.
“omg?”
“Hehehe.”
The drunk man laughed and passed me by.
‘Mr. Lee.’
A name suddenly came to mind.
Mr. Lee······
I just heard something a few hours ago.
[Last time, in room 207, I introduced and cured Mr. Lee’s liver cirrhosis!]
Instead of treating cirrhosis, he must have spent money on treatment for his jaw, mouth, and teeth.
My body trembled involuntarily.
What a barbaric world this is!
If I delay even a little, if I just sit there blankly, I’ll end up like that too.
I ran and ran, shivering.
From a back alley to a slightly wider alley, to a main street, to a nearby park.
It’s only a few hundred meters different, but the atmosphere is definitely different.
The streetlights were dazzlingly bright, and citizens out for a walk were busily walking around the park.
“Woof, woof!”
“Hehehe!”
A scene that is no different from the original world.
Dogs run around and play, and children laugh happily.
It’s still early evening.
I started circling the park at a full sprint.
“Gasp, gasp, gasp.”
Was Kim Jeon Sa originally weak?
I was out of breath all the way to my chin.
I ignore it and run. I ignore breathing control, physical strength, and all that. I just run and run. My heart feels like it’s going to burst, the world is turning yellow, my legs feel like they weigh a ton, but I still run.
You can’t rest. You have to run and run and fall down and face the ground. It’s better to be taken to the emergency room.
Because that’s the acquisition condition for the trait I’m trying to obtain!
“what?”
“Look ahead and walk.”
I can barely see ahead.
After a few bumps, people started getting annoyed.
Even at first glance, I am not normal.
No one was worried or concerned.
I just started avoiding him because I thought he was a weird person.
“Ugh!”
Eventually, he collapsed.
He slammed his face into the dirt.
My nose was broken and blood started flowing out.
“uh······”
“Mom. That guy is weird.”
“Let’s go home.”
People turned away from me.
It can’t be helped.
I got up after falling down, and I was laughing heartily even though my nose was broken and bleeding profusely.
Who would consider me normal like this?
It didn’t matter. Because I confirmed that I had acquired the trait.
[vigor]
No text appears.
Instead, my depleted stamina was welling up.
The heavy body became light and the world that had turned yellow returned to normal.
The trait I gave to all the early Angbal warriors, vitality.
It’s not a common trait, but it’s different in Angul.
Because if it’s a simple task like mining, it’s possible to work 24 hours a day without rest.
‘and······’
Check out the exercise equipment in the park.
Luckily, there was the exercise equipment I was looking for.
Chest pull.
Since it was empty, I sat down on the chair and started pulling the weight as high as I could.
“Ugh.”
It doesn’t work properly.
Anyway, for a warrior character, his body is strangely weak.
“Uh, just once······”
You only need to pull the maximum weight once!
Just once!
Just this once!
I barely managed to pull it out, almost like I was hanging on with my whole body.
It was just after both horizontal bars had barely come down.
A cool feeling spread through my arms, my muscles thickened, and then suddenly the bar felt light.
success!
[Strength] is the characteristic acquired.
Now there’s only one thing left to do at the park.
I wiped the sweat off and took a stroll around the park.
He scans the ground with his eagle eyes. Sometimes he digs through the grass or digs the dirt with his feet.
‘There must be something there······’
It is a must-have in every park in Arcane Seoul.
It’s something that any character can pick up randomly if you take them for a walk.
I found it shortly thereafter.
A five hundred won coin!
As my eyes opened wide, blue light sources appeared here and there in the park.
‘It’s done now.’
[Treasure Hunt] Characteristics.
An essential for anglers, especially for miners.
Without the treasure hunting trait, no matter how good the den you go to or how high the level of contaminated creatures you catch, it won’t be effective.
Unfortunately, not everything is ready.
The thing I hated the most remained to be done.
Should I really do this?
Still, it’s better than stamping the back of your hand with a ballpoint pen.
I masturbated like that and returned to the back alley in front of the goshiwon.
Find a suitable pile of trash and stand in front of it.
“Meow!”
A cross-eyed cat that was rummaging through trash suddenly ran away.
After looking behind him for a while, he suddenly pinched his nose.
A terrible, sour smell assaulted my nose.
“Oh, really.”
Put your hand into the trash heap.
I closed my eyes and searched through the trash.
When something sticky and unpleasant touched my hand, I grabbed it and rubbed it on my face.
‘Eww!’
I screamed inside.
I haven’t had a very smooth life, but I’ve never had anything like this.
I’ve done factory work, I’ve run around doing odd jobs, I’ve never touched anything this dirty!
‘f*ck!’
This trait is also a required trait.
It’s not just a matter of making more money, it’s a matter of survival.
Have to endure it.
You have to endure it.
I have to endure it, ugh, ugh, ugh, oh my god!
“Uwah······ Huh?”
It worked.
After rubbing it a few more times, the smell was completely gone.
No, it’s not that I can’t feel it at all, but it’s just reduced to the level of smelling fish in a fish market while feeling disgusting, like I’m going to vomit, and so suicidal?
This alone makes me feel like I’m in heaven.
I threw all the trash away, swearing.
“Ugh, I feel uneasy.”
He scratched his face with the clothes he was wearing and then threw them away.
The fourth trait gained is [Contamination Resistance].
If you don’t have the magic to work, you have to work one day and rest for several days due to magic contamination.
You may die or become a deity in a temple due to physical transformation.
“Hoooo.”
The hard work is over.
What’s left are [Extraction] and [Synthesis]
Both were easy to get.
I put a metal plate on my face and went out to a nearby convenience store to buy a container of toothpicks.
“The homeless kid smells really good.”
Let’s ignore the insults flying at us from behind.
They are all scars of glory, that’s what I’m saying.
I returned to my gosiwon, took a shower, and opened the toothpick container.
Stack the toothpicks on the desk.
When I actually tried it, it wasn’t an easy task.
I had to make an elaborate object, but even if I took a deep breath, it would collapse, and if I shook my hand even slightly, it would most likely break into pieces.
“It’s better than trash. It’s better than trash······”
I held on for several hours, resisting the urge to give up.
After a long struggle, it was finally completed.
As soon as the flimsy toothpick house was completed, my eyes started to tear up and I saw imaginary lines connecting the toothpicks.
“Okay.”
Next, take out the toothpicks from the toothpick holder one by one.
Like Jenga. So that it doesn’t fall apart.
If the house collapsed before I could get the trait here, I would have to start over from the beginning. I was so focused that I thought my eyes would pop out.
One, two.
One again, two again.
How many times did you repeat this?
Just before the toothpick house collapsed, the world turned red for a moment and then returned to normal.
And the sight you see.
There were red reflections here and there in the toothpick house.
“end!”
It’s really over. It’s all over.
[Vitality] to help restore stamina
[Strength] that enhances strength and physical attacks
[Treasure Hunt] to detect rare loot
[Contamination Resistance] Resists contamination magic.
[Extraction] to obtain materials on the spot
[Synthesis] combining materials to a higher grade
The early bird Kim Jeon Sa is complete!
‘It would be perfect if you added a few more.’
Unfortunately, that is not possible.
Because the number of traits a character can have is limited to six.
‘Six······, right?’
Suddenly, that thought occurred to me.
No way? By any chance?
Hey, that can’t be right. If that’s the case, I’ll pick up the pen while saying “I’m going crazy.”
“Whew.”
I took a deep breath and put the pen down, and sparks flew before my eyes.
“Ugh!”
A groan that comes out on its own.
I did it for nothing!
I’m crazy!
I was completely out of my mind!
If I do this again, you’re a dog!
“Oh really.”
The wounds were still there, as if the chaos had been in vain.
I really messed up. I really messed up.
I took a short breath and thought.
‘I hope your wounds heal······’
It’s not a very good trait, but at least the pain won’t go away soon.
Maybe because I took the picture so seriously, the back of my hand started to hurt badly.
If it were the original world, I would have gone to the emergency room.
Surely you didn’t break a bone?
As I was thinking that, all the strength suddenly left my body.
“uh?”
A strange sight appeared before my eyes as I opened them in bewilderment.
The back of my left hand.
Isn’t it true that the skin that was injured by a ballpoint pen gradually regenerates?
slow.
But for sure.
